Lived life under nighttime skies Shroud of darkness had me blind Stumbled in circles, too inured to cry My fear of failure trumping try Too afraid to look beyond To see what life could truly be Never thinking there would ever be Brighter days ahead of me Now I live out in the sun Claiming my destiny's begun Going for broke, win or lose The path I take, is mine to choose I'm a woman... fully grown Stepping up to claim my thrown Straight trippin' not ever to feel The power that lives inside of me Oooo Can you see it? Oooo oooo Can you feel it? Oooo oooo Will you embrace it? Oooo oooo the light! INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE (African chanting) bgv ad libs Now I live out in the sun
